Building a Honeypot to Research Cyber-Attack Techniques Interim report
نویسنده
چکیده
The internet can be a dark and dangerous place; featuring viruses and cyber attacks. This project aims to uncover some of these threats and reveal just how vulnerable the internet can be. The project involves creating a honeypot a device designed to attract cyber attackers and to analyse cyber attacks to see what’s going on in the dark underworld of the internet. This interim report introduces some common cyber-attack techniques that are frequently used on the internet today. It then describes how a honeypot can be used to witness these attacks as they take place, and then analyse the attacks. This report also includes a breakdown of the project including: how the honeypot software will be built, professional considerations and a project time-scale.

The cyber infrastructure is vulnerable to threats from many different sources
The criticality of cyber infrastructure makes it a very attractive target, which we try to protect by building perimeter defences. This paper argues that a reactive-oriented network defence policy based solely on perimeter defences is not sufficient to properly safeguard IT infrastructure. An argument is made for an approach based on the idea that defence begins with an understanding of those a...

Cyber criminals are increasingly using robocalling, voice phishing and caller ID spoofing to craft attacks that are being used to scam unsuspecting users who have traditionally trusted the telephone. It is necessary to better understand telephony threats to effectively combat them. Although there exist crowd sourced complaint datasets about telephony abuse, such complaints are often filed after...

متن کاملHoneypot based Secure Network System
A honeypot is a non-production system, design to interact with cyber-attackers to collect intelligence on attack techniques and behaviors. There has been great amount of work done in the field of network intrusion detection over the past three decades. With networks getting faster and with the increasing dependence on the Internet both at the personal and commercial level, intrusion detection b...
متن کاملPOSTER: Dragging Attackers to Honeypots for Effective Analysis of Cyber Threats
With the rising number of cyber threats in communication networks, there is a demand for attack analysis and the identification of new threats. Honeypots, tools for attack analysis and zero-day exploit discovery, are passive in waiting for an attacker. This paper proposes a novel approach to the effective utilization of honeypots based on cooperation between honeypots and the network in which t...
